About this Shrine

初生衣神社 (Ogi-no-Miya Shrine) is a small Shinto shrine located in the town of Minami-Murota, Shizuoka Prefecture. The shrine is dedicated to the kami, Ōgimi-no-Kami, who is believed to be the god of childbearing and fertility. The shrine's architecture is characteristic of traditional Edo-period designs, with a simple yet elegant main hall and beautifully landscaped gardens.

Cultural Significance

Ōgimi-no-Kami is often associated with the Japanese folktale of 'The Weaver Girl,' a story about a young girl who is sent away as an infant to be raised by a neighboring village. The shrine's architecture and gardens are said to reflect this mythological connection.
